Asking For Help

Finally, after making a couple of calls I was able to reach a buddy stateside. Ray and I first met in Rio. We’ve become steadfast friends over the last couple of years. I shared the challenges I’ve been facing over the past couple of weeks and he offered some insights.

The interesting thing is before and during our conversation I thought I’d had the same idea. Yet when I explained to him, his input was from a different perspective. His view offered an insight I hadn’t figured on and afforded me the chance to revisit my efforts from a different angle.

Sometimes a great sounding board is all that’s needed.

Today, October 24, 2019, I am grateful that:

I have those in my life I trust and value their expertise. Professionally as well as socially, I have people close who offer insights and experiences, different than my own, that enhance me and my journey.

I offered assistance to Evelyn. Great woman, funny, charismatic - I enjoy her company. We’ve spoken several times over the last week or so and she’s been in the “dark place.” I was able to share my experience with her and offer a way out.

Daniel explained what a “floor” was and that I’d set mine too low. I’ve since established a prudent reserve and as I near the floor a sense of urgency has emerged. Not desperation, urgency.
